In play tennis is a great market, you can make money just anticipating the price changes on each point.
|

By:
You'll only "know " if the odds were "right" or "wrong" in the long term and by then it will be too late to do anything about it, good if you were on the right side more often than not, and bad if the converse.

Doesn't this also mean the opposite, in that for every winner there must be a loser. Anticipating the price takes two to tango doesn't it ? |
|
By:
Luckily the vast majority of the people on here lose
|
|
By:
So you're basically saying that when you watch a live tennis match, you can pick who is going to win or lose the next point, better than the majority of watchers who happen to be also betting ?
Now that is a god given gift, I must confess. |
|
By:
Lol, no. If you watch an in play market you can anticipate how the odds will change at the end of the point.
|
|
By:
Yes, but depending on who wins the point surely ?
And that is the big unknown ( to most of us anyway ). |
|
By:
You can predict what the odds will change to in both scenarios.
|
|
By:
Yep you can and how can that benefit you ?
Don't you have to go one way or another in advance ?. Or do you have a magical method of covering both options ? If you do, then you definitely won't be revealing it on here will you ? More's the pity, but it would be totally self-defeating I understand. So what have we all gained in this illuminating exchange ? Just reassurance that I'm back still in the fine form of past glory days ( unfortunately ? ). |

Btw Cat I regard you as one of my very few " friends " on here.
So don't go all ballistic on me now. |
|
By:
Lol, no. I went to sleep, not ballistic
 In the kerfuffle of bet taking at the end of each point you can get matched favourably as the market settles. You don't need to cover both options, just keep taking value bets and you'll win eventually - every time I've tried it I've greened up. It needs skill and judgement but no knowledge of tennis or the match - you don't even need to be watching the telly, in fact it's probably better if you don't. |

Hello...froggy. Where have you been?
 |
|
By:
catfloppo, I guess you mean that if it's 15-0 and you know what the odds will be at 15-15 and 30-0, you can back and lay the favourite at prices reflecting where the fair odds should be in both scenarios and add your desired margin. If you are lucky enough to get matched, the price will more likely than not revert to 'where it should be' and you green out?

FAFH. where ya been squire?
|
|
By:
Precisely TheInvestor2, I've only tried it a few times but each time i've quite easily greened up. It perhaps wouldn't work on a match where one player dominated all the way through - my examples were very up and down.

Quite obvious the video is a fake without dissecting it.
The proof is here: If you pick winners then you will win money. Price is irrelevant. Done and dusted  |
|
By:
How do you think it was faked?
|
|
By:
Catfloppo...you will be pleased to hear I have won 4 and a half grand since the other night so I'm only 500 quid down now. I will soon be able to call myself a professional.

how jimmy?
|
|
By:
By backing some winners. It's not rocket science...
|
|
By:
examples? what sort of staking?
|
|
By:
you want me to provide a video?
|
|
By:
He wants you to provide tips. He doesn't have any thoughts of his own.
|
|
By:
In case it isn't obvious, jorgeburns = paulme
|
|
By:
I wouldn't dream of providing tips.
|

In case it isn't obvious, jorgeburns = useless ****

At university, we were once shown a video of a man suffering from total amnesia. His every living moment was like that of someone experiencing things for the first time.
When I read paulme's 'contributions' to the forum, I am reminded of that man. |

Cheers Cat...hopefully I will be in the 2% of accounts that make a profit soon
|
|
By:
You MUGS will be pleased to hear that after a good run I am finally back in profit...

You are an enigma, jimmy

Can think of plenty words........... but enigma wasn't one of them!

Suave, sophisticated perhaps?

those stats from the us area crock of chit, what about the hundreds of folk every year that win lotteries and live off there winnings for the rest of there lives, certainly not addicted gamblers but buying tickers every week to make an income would be classed as professional activity?
What about all the poker players semi-pro to pro that make a living from a game that involves some skill and a lot of luck? I could go on but the problem with stats is you can tweek and mess around with them to favor any bias you want, ask any politician. |
|
By:
also if you look up addition it will state the phrase uncotrollable without intervetion, many gamblers dont spend every cent on gambling and can maintain normal lives but choose to spend some of there income on risk betting and could you not class some of the biggest earning pro gamblers as addicts, only they are addicted to winning?
